Here’s what we know about non-medication methods of reducing blood pressure: nothing beats weight loss. So if your blood pressure is borderline and you want to give weight loss a try before signing on for a lifetime of drugs, check with your doctor.
Research shows that if you do lose weight, you are likely to reduce your BP quite a bit.
Second is the DASH diet (click photo for link), which uses fruits, vegetables, and key naturally occurring elements such as potassium and magnesium to reduce blood pressure.
Caution: If you have elevated potassium, be careful with this diet. In this case, check with your doctor.
